So since my last update, which was back when elderly white people weren’t completely insane (read: pre-Obama), a lot has happened here. I’ve moved to Winston-Salem, my wife has a new and better job and the general stress of our life has toned down somewhat, though not completely. Mahogany is still nutty, and this is only exacerbated by the fact she can crawl around on our now carpeted apartment floor and break, hide and steal things in a way you wouldn’t have thought a disabled child can do. I’m still pretty sure she put my technical pens up for sale on eBay.
Our anniversary rolled around and I got to take my wife to one of them fancy eatin’ places in Greensboro. You know, the kind with table cloths and where they frown on you crushing peanuts on the floor? We dressed ourselves up, pulled the ticks out of the baby’s hair and I was able to present my wife with a nice gift, which I caught on video.
8 Years and All I Got Was This Lousy Nook
Miranda’s reaction to the Anniversary gift that she didn’t know she was getting. As you can see, Mahogany knew what mommy was getting, but did her best not to say anything.

Miranda is working in the school system, and I’m still at home with the baby. But in the coming months, I’ll be setting up a new website where I’ll be selling my custom vBulletin styles. Don’t know how well that’s going to go, but I’m invested in it. Considering a couple of other forum softwares that I might develop for, such as XenForo and IPB, but we’ll have to see what the workload for one software is like before I even consider looking at a third or fourth. (Third and forth, in that I’ll be designing for two different versions of vBulletin.)
Other than that, not much is up. There’s much left to do, and we still have to settle into our new life. There’s decisions to be made, and bills to be ignored. Thankfully, I have a smart phone now, so I can answer the phone and hang up on people automatically. Who knew there was an app for THAT? The bugs in Winston are larger than I’m comfortable with, so they’re going to have to go. You think I’m kidding.
